Alfonso - Spanish and Italian form of a Visigothic Germanic name, probably meaning "noble and ready", from the element adal "noble" combined with funs "ready". Other theories claim the first element is ala "all", hadu "struggle" or hild "battle". It is possible that two or more names merged into a single form. This was the name of six kings of Portugal and kings of several ancient regions of Spain.
The term "element" used twice in the above means: A name element is an etymological piece of an individual name. An example is: bert which appears in several Germanic names like Albert, Robert, and Bertram, and means "light".
